In 1992 I was listening to "Wee Sing Bible Songs."

Shouldn't that say ''We'' (but ''wee'' is funnier :lol: )

I am soooo confused... :huh:

Nope - Joeyfool is right. It's Wee as in little kiddies. Not the Wee that is ever present in our thread.

Joy - If your biopsy said DH - I don't think you have to have a blood test. Can anybody back me up on that? Is that right? Do you know what your skin biopsy said? And as you leave, make sure you get a copy of any tests they've done (whether they did the right ones or not!)

Wee = little kiddies

Wee = urine

and, so often,

urine = little kiddies

How's THAT for philosophical syllogisms 101? :lol:

Joyful, not sure if you've had a skin and/or an intestinal biopsy, but what can be said for sure is if you've had a skin biopsy done and it has confirmed DH, you have celiac. :(:(

OKAY! BACK TO SILLINESS!! QUICK!!!

D'oh how did I not mention this earlier?

I was in an accident on the freeway last night!!

I can laugh about it Now . .. .. .aw heck I was laughing about it THEN! :lol:

It's stop'n'go traffic but it seems to be over & going 40-50mph. (You kilometer weirdos have to fend for thineselves!)

Suddenly I gotta be on the brakes!! Then stomping harder tho it's abs. I stop in time and 1 second later some clown hits me from behind hard enough that this sidekick on my lap and stuff from the door storage slot land by the brake pedal!

Since we're all stopped anyway, except the carpoolers a few feet to my left, I storm out to go look at the damage.

<hard gaze w/ an obligatory couple palm-swipes> Nary a scratch. The aforementioned bozo is rolling down his window and I give an exaggerated shrug and yell "it's FINE!"

Checked it under a streetlight a few minutes later and still saw nor felt damage. (Ok Em, give it to me. Something there must be wrong)

Ooh Ooh! ".. ... and again, no damage seen nor felt." (Better?) :lol:

Went to Shelly's (short-time omgthreader) for dinner & guitar. Both kids fun but the 2yr old is constantly either climbing me or gripping my finger, pulling me to my guitar case, as he hasn't yet learned the word encore and has no access to a Bic. :lol: They crack me up.

Uh-oh memory lapse. Is the Yeti (eddie to a few Ottawa blues aficianados) in transit yet?

I doubt he's using all of his luggage allowance. Has anyone looked into him helping to offset expenses as a courier? He could even specialize in maximum-weight baggage!! :)

GAH! Tom! Are you sure you're ok??? You can't say you were in a wreck and then go blathering on about your CAR! Men. Sheesh. You have to follow that up immediately with a reassurance that you were uninjured! Like this--

I think most airlines probably have a maximum weight allowance for passengers as well as luggage, and if you surpass the body weight restriction, they tack it onto your luggage. Yeti-Eddie weighs what...six, seven hundred pounds? Don't think he can be taking anything with him. :rolleyes:

Steve?

"SYRAH!!"

<did he hear that?>

So, Psere-agh, my recounting of laughing about the accident a mere handful of words later isn't enough to quell scary thoughts? Perhaps all sense had been knocked clear outta the ole noggin w/ the collision, leaving a cackling bloody madman, destined to wander gated communities in bandages & pajama bottoms, amusing & befuddling a variety of nosyinquisitive townspeople?

:lol: drat!! I meant to cover that! :lol:

No such opportunity! Maybe it's the eating healthier than 99.9% of the population.

Is that too high? Should I only claim a mere 99%?

P.S. Oh! Another thing I forgot to proudly mention!!

I got CARDED again last night!!

The guy was old, but not as old as I.

I'm not too fond of that sentence

Tom, it doesn't count if you get carded at a bar that cards EVERYONE!!!! LOL

I have a friend I was talking to on the phone a couple years ago and she told me she had hit a deer ... well, I grew up eating game and asked her if she threw it in the back of her car and took it to the butcher! She said, "Thanks for asking, I'm fine." :lol: I said that I knew she was fine because she was talking to me on the phone ... glad it was no big deal.

Okay, I can brag, too .... my 12 year old daughter's friend whose mom was driving her home saw me step outside .... she asked my daughter if I was her older sister. :D

Maybe it's the diabetes, but my favorite(s) are main course, non-sweet pies...tourtiere, chicken pot pie, etc. Haven't had any of those since the celiac diagnosis... grrrrrrrrrrrrr.......

Fellow Canuck, where are your U's?????

My favourite is Raspberry but I haven't had one since being diagnosed. Hmmmm, I think I need to search for a gluten-free pie crust to make myself a raspberry pie. I am a bad diabetic :ph34r: !!

Another Canadian in SillyVille. :blink: I did not know there were three of us! And all three of us both celiac and diabetid. OMG! We better check the Yeti's citizenship. If he's also a Canadian, he may need to be tested for celiac disease and diabetes. Can you give insulin to a Yeti?

Wow, do all Candadian celiacs also have diabetes? Or is it all Canadian diabetics have celiac?

Thanks for the pie responses. :)

Speaking of healthy diets....

One of Ezra's teachers asked me today if a gluten-free diet is "really healthy." And I said, Oh yes, it's perfectly healthy, blah blah blah, and started to go into a detailed explanation about ingredients, etc. She stopped me and said, "No, I mean can you lose weight on it?" ......

"Err... not so much."

I realized later that she asked me this because, today I sent a chocolate cupcake to school with Ezra... I think she was thinking- Atkins with cupcakes. :lol:

Hi sillies,

Just the most furtive and quiet little halloooo from dingy here. Been quite a week, and I'm not sure if I"ve lost my mojo or just my sense of humoUr, or both?????????????? ZOIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

Not a happy time here. But, it will be okay, one day soon. There is actual grief going on here.....issues. A dear friend's mom died.......other things.

Dear GAWD, so sorry to interject such lamentation into the silly thread.

Carry on, goofballs. I shall check in when I have retrieved my mojo or whatever 'tis that I've lost.

:)

p.s. did I mention they cut down "my" whole thicket of eucalpytus trees? heinosity upon heinosity.

What were the results of the biopsy?

Skin biopsy??? (as opposed to small bowel biopsy)

Plus (I'm sure you know) but if you've been gluten-free for any length of time it will skew any bloods testing for celiac disease <_<

The biopsy came back as probable for DH.

When I was in high school they cut down the "thicket" behind my house. I sat on a tree stump and cried while the construction workers laughed at me.

Tom, my dad thought that you asking me if I had an older sister was hilarious.

And now, the funny story of the day:

I attend a small Christian Liberal Arts college, where we have chapel two times a week. If there are events coming up there is usually a student-produced video shown before the service starts. Today, it was 5 ways NOT to get a date for the Christmas banquet. Last night my younger sister and my boyfriend were adamant that I attend chapel today.

In the video...

#3: No Biblical pickup lines are to be used.

The video cuts to my boyfriend and my sister talking.

BF: For you, I would work seven years. And then, I would work seven more years for your sister.

S: *awkward look* :huh:

If you don't recognize it, google the story of Jacob, Rachel, and Leah.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
